Ongoing requests for back issues can keep your staff hopping, and managing adequate inventory can be a storage and production challenge.

BackIssue Express is an online web interface that integrates requests for back-issues with Sheridan’s over-copy warehouse as well as Sheridan Select’s Print-on-Demand (POD) production process.

Seamless Integration

Back Issue orders come in from the publisher’s core business system. If physical back-issue inventory is on hand in our staffed 55,000-square foot on-site warehouse, the order is fulfilled and shipped through Sheridan’s warehouse. If physical inventory is depleted, the order can be channeled to Sheridan’s POD production facility, where it will be produced and shipped.
